The system pits me and destroys the heroine

Song Yuhang's first solution was gold, silver and jewellery. He thought it was difficult for girls to resist such shiny treasures. Si Qinglian thought that Xia Ningle would not like them, but she still remembered that Xia Ningle used to talk in sleep, just to make money. Lots and lots of money.

She thought about it again and again, and felt that this method could be tried, so she temporarily forgave Song Yuhang, and waited at the door of Xia Ningle's room early the next morning.

Xia Ningle lay down until the sun was high before getting up.

Although she was just getting up and her head was still a little confused, she still remembered that she wanted to ask Si Qinglian to find out what was going on. Xia Ningle simply tied up her hair and almost bumped into Si Qinglian when she opened the door.

"Feel sorry!"

"You don't have to apologize." Si Qinglian entered the room. In her hand was a piece of orange-yellow, shiny jade. The jade pendant was carved with a lifelike phoenix. This kind of carving can only be used by the royal family, and the appearance of dragons and phoenixes is forbidden among the people. On some items such as clothes and jade.

"This is for you."

"No need, I don't need it." One look at the jade pendant and he knew it was Si Qinglian's personal belongings, "Let's talk about what His Highness said on the city wall that day!"

"You accept it, and I will talk to you."

Si Qinglian stuffed the jade into her hand, and Xia Ningle touched the jade, there was still a little warmth on it, which was left over from Si Qinglian holding the jade pendant, such a just right warmth, she really couldn't bear to push it away. but.

"Do you believe the saying that people will have a new life after death?" Si Qinglian slowly told what happened to him, not giving Xia Ningle any chance to refuse.

"A little letter."

"Bengong died once. At that time, I was still in the imperial city and had no military power. My mother and concubine disappeared, and my father didn't know whether he was alive or dead. In order to see my father, I had to cooperate with He Shikun." Si Qinglian watched carefully. Glancing at Xia Ningle, "I don't know what I was thinking at the time. I have dealt with He Shikun a lot, but... I have changed my opinion of him a little, but..."

"It's just that he has been lying to His Highness, and none of the things he promised has been fulfilled, right?" Xia Ningle thought for a while, "Actually, I am the same as His Highness."

Si Qinglian didn't appear shocked: "Bengong guessed before that whether you lived a new life like Bengong, but I didn't expect it to be true."

If it wasn't for the system downtime, she would have scolded the eighteenth generation of the system's ancestors. The plot given was actually a prequel, which only told about the heroine's rebirth, which is really unreliable.

"Yeah, I really didn't expect it." Xia Ningle was about to die of anger, but this also showed that the plot had been changed, maybe the next person would not have to die, and she really didn't want anyone around her to leave.

"This is also fate." Si Qinglian pointed out.

Xia Ningle naturally understands what Si Qinglian said, but she doesn't want to respond to it, and she doesn't know what will happen to Si Qinglian when she leaves this world. Is it necessary to start a relationship that has no result?

Of course not, she thought.

"By the way, how is the food in the city?"

Si Qinglian smiled, she didn't want to break the topic so abruptly, she just shook her head and said, "Only part of it was rescued, most of it was burned, and the food we have now is only enough for three days." She Put a letter on the table, "The West and North Gorge Passes have also been completely sealed off, so we have to leave this afternoon to dispatch troops to the border town and attack the imperial city."

Xia Ningle opened the letter, there was no accident, it was full of He Shikun's threats to Si Qinglian, saying that as long as he married him, he would immediately unseal it: "His face is really big... Since I have to leave this afternoon, I have to hurry up." Get ready!"

"Don't worry, there are still problems that have not been resolved."

Strictly speaking, the border town is not too far from here. It can be reached by half a day’s journey on horseback. Arrange the infected people to live, who would have thought that the mountain collapsed and the village would be destroyed, and the infected people would become corpse puppets. If you go on the mountain road, you may encounter a large group of corpse puppets.

If you don't go, it seems that there is no way to go. Because of the terrain, Jiangcheng is built on a small area on the cliff, and there is a rush of water at the bottom of the cliff, which is the only way to bypass the village.

The problem now is, even if we can make a detour, how can we transport the grain back? To transport it to the mountains, we still have to go through the village and transport it to the river, and how can we carry the bags of grain up there?

Xia Ningle frowned, time was running out, and he had to come up with a solution immediately: "Take the water route, and when going down the cliff, each person wears a rope to fix it on the cliff, and then installs a pulley rope on the top of the cliff, so we can hoist the grain up." She was afraid that Si Qinglian would not understand, so she found paper and ink, and drew out two fixed pulley combinations little by little, so as to change the direction of the force, so that the soldiers on the cliff could pull the food up.

"That's right, let's use this method."

As for the rafts needed for the waterway, you can go to the bottom of the cliff to make them. There are a hundred people who went this time, and the rest of the soldiers were used to defend the city. Before leaving, Xia Ningle also told Song Yuhang to be more careful when the weather turned cold. Puppet, as for the four seasons, only Qiu'er followed, and there were three others left behind.

The task of going down the cliff first was given to Qiuer. Xia Ningle taught some tricks for tying knots, and it was easy to go down with three ropes. It was already dark when we got on the raft, and no one dared to delay, so we set off for the border town overnight.

……

Qin Youming quietly came to Zuodu Yushi's house, looking for traces about Concubine Liu, the place was brightly lit, he wondered why he didn't rest until it was so late.

In front of the study, he poked through the window paper.

I don't know if it's because he was too tired from reading official documents, Zuo Du Yushi was lying on the table, and the unusually quiet environment made him suddenly alert. Just as he was about to leave, many soldiers surrounded the place with torches.

The leader is He Shikun's confidant Zuo Lieutenant General, he sneered and said: "Qin Youming, the censor of the right capital, assassinated the imperial court official and took it down for me."

"what?"

Qin Youming quickly realized that they had killed Zuodu Yushi to silence him, and by the way put the blame on him: "I never went in at all, what evidence do you have to prove that I killed the person?"

"You were caught by us just as you were trying to escape, otherwise why were you sneaking around?" Deputy General Zuo said, "You are still holding a knife, don't you want to escape and kill in fear of crime?"

Qin Youming knew that if he escaped, he would be confused, and his colleagues would be hurt. If he didn't escape, then he would be in danger: "You guys reacted so quickly, it seems that Liu Concubine's matter can't be escaped from He Shikun. Get involved!"

"Nonsense, get it for me!"

With so many people, Qin Youming knew that he might not be able to escape if he wanted to escape, so he had to put down the knife in his hand and let the soldiers handle it. The left deputy smiled: "It's so naive."

After speaking, he pulled out the saber from his waist.

At the moment of beheading, the imperial guards kicked in the door, and the leader confronted the left deputy without any explanation: "Master Qin is an official ordered by the court, no matter whether he committed a crime or not, it is not up to the left deputy to decide the case. Do you want a lynching?"

"I'm just trying to scare you."

The left deputy stopped the knife in mid-air, seeing that the number of imperial guards was not small, he smiled and put away the knife, but he was very puzzled in his heart, the queen's people came too timely.

The imperial guards glanced at him, but they didn't say anything against him. They just searched here, focusing on the bookshelves, and seemed to be looking for He Shikun's evidence just like Qin Youming.

Seeing this scene, Qin Youming shook his head again and again.

The people present didn't care who died here and how many people died here, but there was such a commotion that no one got up to check, presumably the servant and his wife were already dead.

The imperial guards didn't find anything useful, and in the end Qin Youming was brought to the queen. The queen talked about him, and the deep meaning was to ask him if he had found any evidence of He Shikun's crime.

Qin Youming's eyes were deep, he shook his head and said no, the queen was not willing to let it go, so she put him in prison first, and then tried to test whether he was willing to join her, Qin Youming just pretended to be stupid and fooled around.

The next day, the Queen called the Taifu.

After Taifu understood the cause and effect, he only had one question in his mind. He suspected that the queen knew something but was unwilling to say it.

"How does Tai Tuo think Qin Youming should be dealt with?"

"Did anyone see Master Qin did something?" Tai Tuo naturally knew that Qin Youming was investigating Concubine Liu, so he asked calmly.

The queen shook her head: "It's a little clumsy trick, it seems to be He Shikun's trick, this matter should be planned by He Shikun."

"Since that's the case, let's keep Qin Youming first, He Shikun will definitely have some concerns." Tai Fu bowed his hands, "The current plan is to let the crown prince succeed as soon as possible and take back He Shikun's troops."

The queen kept silent, and she was also anxious, but if the crown prince succeeds, the emperor will definitely be involved. Now that the emperor has mutated into a corpse puppet, she is afraid that this matter will be revealed.

"Miss?"

The queen frowned, sobbing sadly, two tears flowed from her eye sockets: "To tell you the truth... Your Majesty, he...he has already..."

The Tai Tuo sneered, seeing the Queen's pretentious posture, his heart was very clear, so he pretended to be shocked: "Could it be that... His Majesty has passed away..."

The queen nodded: "People have been in panic for the past few months. After the saint went up a few days ago, I was afraid that this matter would affect people's hearts, so I didn't feel constipated."

The Taifu also shed tears: "That's it...we should announce to the world that we should choose a good day and auspicious day for the Crown Prince to succeed us."

"Teacher is right."

The queen lowered her head and covered her expression with a veil. She had to find someone to get rid of the monster before the burial to avoid future troubles.

On that day, news of the emperor's death spread all over the imperial city, all the white silk and satin in the shops were sold out, the whole city was plain white, and wailing was everywhere.

……

The cell was dark and damp.

Tai Fu was talking to Qin Youming, saying: "Your official position may not be guaranteed, but the old man has already persuaded the empress to keep your life and send you to be a city guard."

"Defend the city?" Qin Youming quickly understood that this should also be Taifu's suggestion. He seemed to be demoted, but in fact he was asked to open a direct path for Si Qinglian, "Okay, I understand, thank you Taifu."

"Now everyone knows that the Holy Majesty has passed away, and He Shikun will come back to deal with the empress in a short time." The Taifu suddenly laughed, "The old man is still worried that the blockade of the West and North Gorges will not be good for His Royal Highness Changle , the empress has helped a lot, the prince and His Highness have a good relationship, if he succeeds, it will be easy for Liang Xie to talk."

"Just hope everything goes well."
